I'm curious about this info as well. I came to find out some info. It states there are 40 replies but I do not see any. What's up with that???

My initial hope from the beginning was/is to buy a bafang 750 or 1000 watt mid drive but I didn't have the added $500. I need to get mobile now for the summer and now plan to save up for the mid drive. I'm on SSI with very limited funds. As far as hub burnout my next purchase is about $100 for...

Oh, by the way, here's my bike so far. I've got the triangular battery and the rear wheel is still in transit. Those handlebars are being replaced with 10" pullback apes.

It looks like you're running a mid drive but I don't recognize the brand.

With a cadence sensor, you mention 1/4 turn initiates power. Is this the only control? It doesn't sound too safe to me. Not having tried this I'm skeptical of it being potentially too slow OR too fast. But yes, I do see your point as a possible option. This is my first ebike. My experience is...

The other option was to shorten the throttle side of the handlebar (cut off about 6 inches) and then machine a length of pipe to fit inside the handlebar. I was just checking out handlebar extentions and don't really care to use that as my option.

Yeah. I agree. I was just now thinking about the versamount or similar short bar attachment, but only as a last resort. I might also grab a few throttles and experiment. Maybe try reaming out the ID. It's hard to believe the throttles are only available fir 7/8" bars. It looks like there's an...

Glad to see this is looking like an active forum. I've actually got the bike built and waiting on the rear hub motor now. Here's a few pics.

Have not been able to locate anything other than for a 7/8 inch diameter handlebar. Looking for any that will fit a 1 inch handlebar. Thanks, Buzzard

I just bought a similar set of bars, except mine are 10" pullback apehangers with a 1 inch diameter. The problem I'm having now is locating a throttle that is larger than 7/8 inch diameter. I haven't been able to located one. So I would suggest your search for bars be for 7/8 inch. Good luck.

Looking for any ebike throttle that'll fit a 1 inch diameter handlebar.

New to this forum. Got a lot going on. Looking forward to a good long stay. I'm 67, a mechanic my whole life, but new to ebikes, so this should be interesting. I've got a new bike I'm building but there are items and questions I have about parts I can't seem to locate. Look to the appropriate...
